There are up to fifteen cases of food posing a year just from consuming food that was originally genetically altered and had not been up to FDA standards. When these food are released on the open market there is a potential of 400 cases of food posting before it is diagnosed as a needed recall for that product. Even after the FDA or public news is aware of the product, many people who have not heard about it still can consume it before there aware the food sitting in there cabinet is in recall on it.

Top researchers confirm that the results of genetic engineering are unpredictable. This is why unexpected harmful substances may appear in GE food. Many horror stories’ such as an unexpected poison in a GE food supplement killed 37 persons. The poison was not discovered because careful search for unexpected harmful substances was not made. These stories have been heard before and it is apparent that there are many risks to GE foods but is considered by many to be helpful. Some say scientists are being harassed if they tell the truth about GMO hazards. Research on GMO hazards is being suppressed and negative research reports have been destroyed.
ScienceDaily “reading food labels hand in hand with weight gain” (Sep. 9, 2010)
Nutritional science and food marketing has become so sophisticated in recent decades that a trip to the supermarket can require a complete nutritional re-education. The average consumer needs to be on guard against preservatives, added fat, colorings, and calories, false advertising, and sophisticated but misleading labels. This” weight gain” can also be due to the fact that people don’t even care to read the labels. Many America’s don’t even think twice about looking at labels before consumption. There are many factors contributing to not just weight gain but to overall wellness by not just looking over a label to check the materials gone into making it. Using information on whether consumers read food labels the first time they buy a product, the study's author found that people who observe the labels and do not exercise display a slightly greater likelihood of weight loss than those who do exercise but do not pay attention to food labels.
The Healthy Eating Advisor “labels and our sickness” (Mar. 2008)
Taking the time to be aware of what you are eating or consuming could be very important to someone with many allergies to certain ingredient in food. Especially to foods that aren’t considered important to put on the front of a label such a soy, nuts, certain beans and even some types of oils. About 40% of allergic reactions are from people not reading the labels correctly or even bothering to look over the label. When coming upon a buffet it would be smart to ask someone what is in a certain food, just simply looking at the food and deciphering if it contains something that would cause you to have reaction is not likely to be correct.
